ABOUT ME

I love this work because I love people. I am here because I am curious about you and want to help you on your journey in any way I can.

 

As a lifelong creative person, I was drawn to Jungian Depth Psychology because of its interest in the wisdom of the unconscious as expressed through image, metaphor, art, play, movement, storytelling, dreams, and imagination. I was inspired to become a therapist in response to my own journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery rooted in these modes of self-exploration and self-expression.
